CHILD GENIUS VERSUS EVIL MASTERMIND IN A NAIL-BITING COURTROOM DRAMA ! Chanakya—author of the Arthashastra, the great genius, master administrator, jurist, war strategist and kingmaker. But before the legend was a young boy—Vishnu Gupta. The capital city of the great Nanda Empire, Pataliputra, is a teeming nest of crime, corruption, injustice, all controlled by one evil mastermind: Maha-amatya Rakshasa. Granted virtually unlimited authority by the hedonistic emperor, Mahapadma Nanda, Rakshasa lives up to his name, using violence and manipulation to accumulate his own fortune and power. Forced by circumstances, the young Vishnu Gupta finds himself living in Pataliputra during the tumultuous reign of the wicked emperor and his unholy henchman. When Rakshasa sees Vishnu Gupta’s genius, he recognises a future rival and does everything in his power to destroy the young boy. To survive and to protect his family, Vishnu must rely on his formidable knowledge of the holy scriptures and brilliant interpretations. Now, the game is on! India’s Epic Storyteller imagines the formative years of India’s greatest genius in a thrilling trilogy recreating Chanakya’s early struggles, triumphs and life lessons?
